How to Record Flirt4Free with CaptureGem

CaptureGem saves public Flirt4Free shows to your computer without a Flirt4Free account. CaptureGem needs the model's name written exactly as Flirt4Free writes it, so take care with step 2. This guide walks you from installing the app to finding the saved video.

Record Flirt4Free in 5 steps

Free to start, and the same steps on Windows, macOS and Linux.

  1. Step 1: Install CaptureGem

    CaptureGem is free to download and use, with no account needed. Download CaptureGem for Windows, macOS or Linux and open the desktop app.

    Use the latest release for the most recent Flirt4Free fixes.

  2. Step 2: Find the model's name

    Example link

    https://www.flirt4free.com/?model=model-name

    Open the model's room. Their name is in the address after ?model=.

    Flirt4Free names are lowercase with hyphens between words, and CaptureGem needs that exact form: model-name works, while Model Name or Model-Name won't.

    The names and numbers in these examples are placeholders; use the ones from the real page.

  3. Step 3: Add the stream

    Go to the Record tab and paste a link containing ?model= into Enter URL or Username in the Add Stream panel; CaptureGem selects Flirt4Free and reads the name from the link. Or pick Flirt4Free under Select Website and type the name. Other Flirt4Free links don't include the name, so type it rather than pasting those.

    Keep Monitor Only switched off so the stream is saved, then click Add Stream.

  4. Step 4: Check the recording status

    While the model is in a public show, the row switches to Recording once CaptureGem has connected to the room, which takes a few more steps on Flirt4Free than on most sites. Otherwise you'll see:

    Offline
    The model's room isn't open to the public.
    Errored
    An error saying "username not found or offline" means the name isn't in Flirt4Free's list of live models, which is where CaptureGem looks. The model is offline or the name is misspelled.

    Hover over a status for more detail, such as the reason behind an Errored status.

  5. Step 5: Find your recording

    When a recording finishes, CaptureGem converts it into a video file; long recordings can take a little while. Open the Review tab to play, trim, tag or delete it, or click Open Video Folder on the Record tab.

    Recordings are MP4 files by default. With Premium, each file runs up to 60 minutes by default and auto-record starts the next one straight away. You can change the save location, the file length (Cap Video Segments at Duration (Minutes)) and the container in Settings.

Free version and Premium auto-record

The free version saves up to 5 minutes per recording and lets you add up to 10 models. It records a model when you add or start them while they are live, so if the model was offline, start the recording again later.

Premium removes those limits and adds auto-record: select the model on the Record tab, choose Modify Auto Record under Actions and pick Record Always. CaptureGem then records whenever the model comes online and restarts after a disconnect. To do this for every model you add, turn on Auto Record All Newly Added Models in Settings.

The Monitor tab shows live previews of everything you are recording.

Flirt4Free notes and troubleshooting

  • Name not found

    Check that the model is live and that the name matches the ?model= part of their room address exactly. A pasted link without ?model= creates an entry called unknown-model; remove it and type the name.

  • Slow connections

    Looking up the model, joining the room's chat and requesting the video all have to finish within Network Timeout (Seconds) in Settings > Advanced Settings. Raise it if your connection is slow.

  • "Checking your browser" page

    CaptureGem gets through Flirt4Free's browser check automatically.

  • Quality

    To save bandwidth and disk space, set a lower Flirt4Free limit under Max Resolution Per Site in Advanced Settings.

  • Private shows

    CaptureGem has no separate Private status for Flirt4Free and records public shows only.

Still stuck?

If a recording keeps failing, update CaptureGem, check that the stream plays in your browser, and ask in our Discord community. Premium members can also send a failed recording to support.
